Hardware - Large Format

Epson is showing the new 24-inch SureColor SC-P7000V aqueous inkjet printer for the first time in Europe at Labelexpo Europe following its global launch at Graph Expo earlier this month. The 10-colour SureColor SC-P7000V with inline Epson ILS30 SpectroProofer offers a total solution for any ultra-high-quality, ‘brand-level’ packaging and label proofing application.

The SureColor SC-P7000V is a wide-gamut printer featuring Epson’s exclusive PrecisionCore printhead technology, producing outstanding performance and quality with ultra-precise control of dot size and placement. Utilising Epson’s advanced UltraChrome HDX inks the 10-colour SureColor SC-P7000V adds violet ink to its CMYK/Lk/Lc/Lm/Green/Orange ink set. The result is support of 99% of the Pantone colour library, making it the most colour-accurate large-format inkjet printer utilising 10 or fewer colours. For larger proofing applications a 44-inch version, the SureColor SC-P9000V, is also available.

Plus, Epson’s new Color Calibration Utility software measures colour density and concentration and stores the information on the printer itself – eliminating the inconvenience of continually importing and exporting measurement data. The calibration process is easier and faster: simply calibrate once for the calibrated data to be used across all media types (including 3rd-party media) as well as all print modes.

At Labelexpo the printer will be driven by GMG colour management software and demonstrating a variety of demanding packaging proofing applications.

Marco van Niekerk, Senior Product Manager, Epson Europe says: “The new SureColor SC-P7000V addresses the challenge in delivering ’brand-level‘ packaging and label proofing for jobs featuring a wide colour gamut, or the use of previously hard-to-target spot colours. Ideal for both onsite as well as remote proofing applications, the SureColor SC-P7000V easily meets the strict and exacting proofing requirements of the packaging, flexo and label industries.”
